#2. Maro Itoje
Having triumphed over a previous health challenge, Maro is making a triumphant return to top form on the rugby field, delivering exceptional performances during the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Although he was previously seen as a possible England skipper, his reserved personality, which differs from the typical captain’s traits, might have been a factor in not attaining the role under Eddie Jones’ leadership. Despite being a strong contender, it might be best to let Maro concentrate on thriving as the world-class player he is.
